Maya travels  4.19 feet/sec faster than Kelly !

Difference in distance is : 106.76-56.52 = 50.24 feet

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , The Carousel in the National Mall has 4 rings of horses. Kelly is riding on the inner ring, which has a radius of 9 feet. Maya is riding on the outer ring, which is 8 feet farther out from the center than the inner ring is. We need to find In one rotation of the carousel, how much farther does Maya travel than Kelly . Let's find out:

Kelly is riding on the inner ring, which has a radius of 9 feet

Total distance traveled by Kelly is circumference of circle with radius 9 feet i.e.

⇒ Distance = 2\pi r

⇒ Distance = 2(3.14) 9

⇒ Distance = 56.52feet

Maya is riding on the outer ring, which is 8 feet farther out from the center than the inner ring .

Total distance traveled by Maya is circumference of circle with radius (8+9=17) feet i.e.

⇒ Distance = 2\pi r

⇒ Distance = 2(3.14) 17

⇒ Distance = 106.76feet

Therefore , Difference in distance is : 106.76-56.52 = 50.24 feet

Now , Speed of both is give by

⇒ Speed_k_e_l_l_y=\frac{56.52}{12} = 4.71 feet/sec   And ,

⇒ Speed_M_a_y_a=\frac{106.76}{12} = 8.90 feet/sec

Faster Maya travels = 8.90-4.71 = 4.19

So , Maya travels  4.19 feet/sec faster than Kelly !

Solve the system:<br> 2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5 3(x+6y)+4=9y+19
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The value of x and y that satisfy the equations is x = 2 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5

3(x+6y)+4=9y+19

Required.

Find x and y

We start by opening all brackets

2.5(x−3y)−3=−3x+0.5 becomes

2.5x - 7.5y - 3 = -3x + 0.5

Collect like terms

2.5x + 3x - 7.5y = 3 + 0.5

5.5x - 7.5y = 3.5 ---- Equation 1

In similar vein, 3(x+6y)+4=9y+19 becomes

3x + 18y + 4 = 9y + 19

Collect like terms

3x + 18y - 9y = 19 - 4

3x + 9y = 15

Multiply through by ⅓

⅓ * 3x + ⅓ * 9y = ⅓ * 15

x + 3y = 5

Make x the subject of formula

x = 5 - 3y

Substitute 5 - 3y for x in equation 1

5.5(5 - 3y) - 7.5y = 3.5

27.5 - 16.5y - 7.5y = 3.5

27.5 - 24y = 3.5

Collect like terms

-24y = 3.5 - 27.5

-24y = -24

Divide through by - 24

y = 1

Recall that x = 5 - 3y.

Substitute 1 for y in this equation

x = 5 - 3(1)

x = 5 - 3

x = 2

Hence, x = 2 and y = 1

Given that (x+2) is a factor of x^3+8, find the other quadratic factor.
Semmy [17]
If you know the formular a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2), you can solve this problem.
8 is 2 cubed, so x^3+2^3=(x+2)(x^2-2x+4)
so the other quadratic factor is x^2-2x+4

So in 2.5 hours they wiil be

2.5 * 105

= 210 + 52.5

= 262.5 miles.
